"The construction of the canal is indeed beneficial to the country and the people, but there is one thing. The manpower, material, and money consumed to build the canal all come from the national treasury. Through the operation of the people organized by the aristocratic families, nobles, princes, and ministers, part of the money flows into other hands."
"Then they deceived the people above and deliberately sow discord with Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. The local government cleverly set up names to collect heavy taxes. They even secretly contacted Goguryeo to delay the war, so that whenever they were about to break through Anshi City, they would The purpose of pretending to sing praises is actually to buy time for the other party to bring down the Sui Dynasty."
hiss
Li Mingda smacked his teeth. These people really don't regard the common people as human beings. They should do such a thing just for their own selfish desires and so-called interests. They deserve to die.
"Have a cup of tea and continue talking"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."
Li Daozong took the tea cup handed by Li Mingda and drank it down in one gulp, then continued: "At that time, Yang Xuangan's mutiny was actually caused by an internal dispute. Because the interests of both parties were unevenly distributed, Yang Xuangan wanted to inherit the throne after the death of Emperor Sui Yang or Just block him in Liaodong and proclaim himself emperor first, while others within the organization plan to choose one of the sons of Emperor Sui Yang who is easy to control."
"The war between the two sides broke out, which caused Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty to be delayed in Liaodong as planned and returned with some of his troops. Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was not an idiot. He knew the twists and turns, so he began to mobilize himself The only remaining personnel and troops in hand began to fight back."
"However, what he didn't expect was that the normal storm caused by the aristocratic families, nobles, princes and ministers in the organization could not even be controlled by themselves. As uprisings broke out in various places, a group of people felt that Yang Guang was already aware of their purpose. If he frees up his hands, based on my understanding of Yang Guang's character, he will definitely come to settle matters with them in the end."
Li Mingda interrupted at this time: "In other words, you people just do nothing and continue to do the same thing, directly adding fuel to the flames and expanding the uprising to the whole country to unanimously oppose the Sui Dynasty."
Li Daozong nodded: "Yes, and then there will be divisions within the organization. The Yuwen family, the Du family in Jiangnan, etc. can all rely on their abilities. Whoever wins the world in the end will be his."
really
The essence of the organization is thrown out
"Is the Changsun family one of them?"
Li Daozong nodded: "Yes, due to the internal battle, only your mother, the Empress Dowager, and Changsun Wuji were left."
_(:з ∠)_
"Then what is the status of our old Li family?"
Li Daozong: "We were in the upper middle at that time, but we had a good relationship with the Chai family. At that time, my grandfather (Li Yuan) also had a wide network of contacts. In addition, he made promises and gained a lot of support. Only then did we have the same relationship with the Yuwen family and Wang Shichong. "Strength of War"
Speaking of this, Li Mingda also roughly understood the matter, and then the organization split, and everyone competed in the world based on their abilities. As a result, the old Li family had good connections and luck, and defeated the enemy and became the emperor. As for some unjust, false and wrong cases later Not to mention the grudges and entanglements, it’s already lively enough.
Li Mingda suddenly thought of one person. As the first official figure of the Sui Dynasty to raise troops, Yang Xuangan's role was exactly what he was.
"What is Yang Xuangan's status within the organization, and why does he think he has the ability to succeed Yang Guang's throne?"
Li Daozong had a wry smile on his face: "It seems that he was Bei Xuanwu, one of the four major leaders at that time. As for why he thinks so, he probably thinks that a series of people in the north will support him."
Rubbing his chin, Li Mingda recalled the messy grievances and entanglements in his memory in the late Sui Dynasty, and then he realized that it was not that Yang Xuangan had no support, but that he had made a wrong calculation, and Yang Guang led A man left Liaodong to attack Goguryeo, and he was accompanied by many ministers, princes, nobles and children. If those people's families announced their support for Yang Xuangan, most of his sons and brothers would be beheaded by the angry Yang Guang on the spot. flag.
Poor kid, if he had chosen to endure the plotting behind his back for a while, he might have almost lost it. What a pity.
Li Mingda turned his head and looked behind his buttocks at the still sleeping Xiaobai Nao Nai, and couldn't help but rub her fat face: "So, how did the Murong family of Tuyuhun get involved?"
Li Daozong thought for a while and shook his head: "I don't know about this. Maybe other families are related to it. Although we are also in the western region, we belong to the northern clan. The Murong family is from the western faction."
At this point, Li Mingda felt that Li Daozong had not finished speaking, and waited for his eyes to ask: "So, our old Li family inherited the identity of the northern lineage organization, why did my father never say anything about it?"
Li Daozong handed over to Li Mingda and confided: "I am the one who inherited the organization's connections and titles in our Li family. In addition, the successors are usually chosen after the death of the elders, and the Supreme Emperor did it because... so maybe the late emperor didn't tell he"
(⊙o⊙)…
This sentence makes sense, but there is something unreasonable in it: "Why didn't Changsun Wuji tell my father?"
Li Daozong smiled bitterly and said: "Changsun Wuji said it, but he didn't tell the truth. Otherwise, His Majesty wouldn't be wary of me every day, and I wouldn't do so many little tricks behind my back."
"There is also this matter. Is Changsun Wuji unwilling to tell the truth? Or is it because he wants to secure his position as prime minister. If he hands over his power, he will not be able to communicate within the organization, thereby infiltrating his own eyes and ears. To the court place”
"Your Majesty is wise. In fact, I think so too. Anyone who has experienced troubled times knows that without some strength in your hands, you cannot protect yourself or your family."
Li Daozong's words are very reasonable, and Li Mingda is also very satisfied, but how should he deal with him? If he doesn't do something, it seems a little unreasonable. If he deals with him, although he will lose the Mingzun Holy Cult and the whole people. I have faith behind me, and I don’t worry about rebelling or these messy things, but I always feel that something is missing.
Rubbing his chin, Li Mingda asked Li Daozong: "I also know the general outline of the matter. You can write down some specific details and give them to me later. As for Changsun Wuji's arrangement for his ending, I have already decided it. , but you are making things difficult for me."
Li Daozong, who was sitting on the small horse, stood up and knelt on the ground: "I am guilty, Li Daozong does not dare to ask for your majesty's forgiveness. I just hope that your majesty can see the contribution I have made to the Tang Dynasty and the Li family over the years and let me go." family"
ε=(??ο｀*)))Alas
"Well, you are talking as if I am a tyrant. Your family will be fine, but I need to give you a charge that looks very bluffing but actually has little impact in order to scare those people in the sand. "Little Bastard"
"What crime should I convict you of?"
